About this hoodie

Description

The RK Threads Heavy Pet Hoodie (Women's) takes our heaviest 400 GSM oversized women's hoodie and stitches your pet's portrait on it. Heavy, warm, and yours, plus the dog (or cat, or ferret) you love.

Upload your pet's photo in the customiser. We convert it to a single-line illustration and machine-embroider it onto the hoodie. The first embroidery location is included; extra spots are available at checkout for an additional cost.

Each hoodie is machine-embroidered to order at our Melbourne studio on one of our 13 industrial embroidery machines. Production takes around 2 weeks before shipping Australia-wide.

  • Your pet, as line embroidery, hand-traced from your uploaded photo
  • 400 GSM heavyweight oversized hoodie in 80% cotton / 20% recycled polyester CVC fleece
  • Oversized fit, drop-shoulder, women's sizes XS through 2XL
  • First embroidery location free, extra spots at checkout
  • Made in Melbourne on 13 industrial embroidery machines, 2-week turnaround

Perfect for

  • Memorial pieces for a pet who's passed
  • Mother's Day featuring her favourite pet
  • Adoption-day commemoratives
  • The heavy hoodie that lives at her place

Fabric

400 GSM, 80% cotton / 20% recycled polyester CVC fleece. Cotton facing for next-to-skin softness. Lined drawcord hood, kangaroo pocket, ribbed cuffs and hem. Drop-shoulder oversized construction.

Care

Cold machine wash inside out. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid bleach and ironing the embroidered area.

The embroidery

Our artists draw your pet from your photo. We set the drawing up for the machines, which means turning it into a stitch file the machine can follow, then stitch it in our Melbourne studio.

A clear, bright photo where you can see their face and markings gives our artists the most to work with.

Sizing

The size guide next to the sizes has the measurements. They're taken flat on the garment in centimetres, so lay a piece you like flat and compare.

Care

Wash cold and inside out. Skip the dryer if you can, and don't iron straight over the stitching.

Shipping and turnaround

Custom pieces are ready to post two weeks after you order (10 business days). Rush is five business days for $25 more, and you add it in the design tool.

Shipping is free in Australia over $90 and free internationally over $150.

Returns

Our refund policy has the details. If something's not right, message us.

    How long does it take?

    Two weeks (10 business days) from your order to when we post it. The date near the top of this page is when we would post an order placed today.

    Can I get it sooner?

    Yes. Rush costs $25 and we make it in five business days. You add it in the design tool. Postage takes the same time either way.

    How much is shipping?

    Is there a minimum order?

    No. One piece is fine. If you need 10 or more, our wholesale site gives you an instant quote, no account needed.

    What photo of my pet should I send?

    A clear, bright photo where you can see their face and markings. You upload it in the design tool. Our artists draw your pet from it, then we stitch the drawing.

    What size should I get?

    Tap "Don't know what size to get?" under the sizes. Pick women or men, add your height and weight, and it suggests a size. The size guide next to it has the measurements in centimetres.

    Can I see the drawing before I buy?

    Our artists draw your pet after you order, then we stitch it. Before you buy, the design tool shows a rough preview made from your photo, so you can check where it goes and the price.

    Can I ask you something first?

    Yes. Message us any time.
